[Elecraft] KX3 KXUSB no port found in KX3 Utility

I'm trying to do my first KX3 update from firmware 01.22 to 01.23 via 
the KXUSB.

The KX3 Utility is not finding a port.  When I click on the Port pull 
down menu, no port appears.
I tried first with the drivers in my Win 7 machine, and when that did 
not succeed, I downloaded the FTDI driver and installed that, and then 
shut down the computer.  The KX3 was off and I disconnected the KXUSB.  
Reconnected, turned on the computer and then the KX3, and opened the KX3 
Utility.  No joy, no port.

I recall issues with baud rates in getting a port with the K3 Utility, 
but I think the KX3 automagically sets baud rates to 38400 (p 38).

Probably operator error somewhere...any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
